Real Madrid and Barcelona are owned by their members. Can't buy those clubs.

its Malaga ffs, its written in the stars with the trouble they have atm

At Atleti they like to be like the big two aka non-owned, Creszero has said it before he doesn't want Atleti to be private owned instead a club run freely

There is new article in marca saying he will go for Getafe, and if that does not work out, he will try to buy Real Sociedad.

I don't want super inflationary , pointless investment. Sensible investment (or even not at all , as it is currently) is better than that.

Ronaldo, Di Maria, Ozil and Benzema to form Getafe Galacticos in 2013 :bow:

Sarabia and other castilla to be sold back to Real, lol

It should be Athletico get them to actually compete against Madrid then we would have a proper Madrid derby. Valencia would also be nice because they are always competitive and have some great players. Athletico is more marketable and the city is bigger. The Madrid faithful will remain loyal but there are lots of bandwagoners outside of Spain that will switch across town if things were to get better.

getafe?? are you kidding?

by Catracho Thu Nov 01, 2012 11:15 pm

Reports today were that major proprietor of Getafe, Angelo Torres, has not even been approached by Slim about the purchase of Getafe...

Looks like all hype for now.

by B-Mac Fri Nov 02, 2012 2:56 am

it would surely be Ath.Madrid, probably the most marketable team out of all them

Could be anyone, isn't Slim the 3rd richest person in the world? I don't think he would care about whether the club was profitable or if it had a long-term future. Probably just a plaything for him. I could be wrong though, he might actually be passionate about a particular club.

Richest man in the world.

Like other have said Valencia and A.Madrid would be the best choice, because of marketing potential.

*Crosses Fingers for Valencia*

by CBarca Fri Nov 02, 2012 5:45 am

I agree with Deportivo. That would be awesome, to see them up there challenging the top teams again.

I thought Bill Gates and Warren Buffett had more money. Although they do give quite a lot of $ away to charity.

Nope.. its Slim. son of Lebanese immigrants in Mexico. Owner of many companies across Latin America.

The financially stricken Spanish club Real Oviedo announced Saturday that the Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helú had agreed to invest $2.5 million in the third-tier team, which faced bankruptcy before a huge fund-raising effort by fans.
Slim decided to become the new majority shareholder because of Oviedo’s “history in Spanish professional football and above all for the extraordinary support of its fans.”
